To sign up for a workshop register first and then the Google Form giving details of which Workshops you wish to attend, number of attendees and a contact name for use on the day. It is essential that you are registered to attend before signing up for the workshops.

There are 7 workstations so if more than 7 request to attend a workshop we will do pair programming to allow as many people as possible to attend the workshops.

The Egham Raspberry Jam is primarily a Show and Tell event where people bring along their projects for you to try out and share how they made them so others can learn and be inspired to make their own or an adaptation.

So, if you have a project you want the world to see bring it along. Or, if you are looking for inspiration again, come along and have a chat.

In the past there have been:

Scalextric controlled from Scratch

Lots and lots of remote control bots. Some that shot missiles (toy), some with remote viewing.

Robot Arms

Programming tutorials

Fun with Minecraft
